Day trip from Montevideo to Punta del Este in Uruguay

We would love to take a day trip from Montevideo to Punta del Este, South America’s “Monaco” on our tour. Upscale neighbourhoods, colourful homes and gorgeous gardens. Head to Playa Brava, watch surfers and take photos of the famous “Fingers” sculpture which shows a giant hand protruding from the sand. Check out Playa Mansa on the calm side of the peninsula, then visit Casa Pueblo, a Mediterranean-styled villa, museum and art gallery designed by local painter/sculptor Carlos Páez Vilaró.
